When you consider that a lot of these picks were later in the draft bc the Steelers were good that makes it even more impressive how there's only 2-3 true "busts" here

I absolutely love how Shazier played and I miss him.

Love how you showed the clip of TJ Punching that Jets QB right in the nuts

So many amazing players. That Steeler culture, their is no substitute.

I would like to see this same list in a few years. I still have faith in Bush to go higher. Harris will be higher and I’m still heart broken about Shazier. He could have be top 5 ever.

These guys bring tears to my football lovin' eyes. I love this team.

Casey Hampton is IMO the most underrated Steeler of all time. Outside of Mean Joe Greene, he's the best defensive tackle in Steelers history and the best of the 3-4 "Blitzburg" Era. The Steelers were a Top 5 defense every season of Hampton's prime and that's no coincidence.

Great video Yinzburgh 👍🏻! Tough to beat your Top 10. I wish there was a way to get Shazier in there, but who would you take out? I feel, if his injury didn't happen, we would have 2 DPOY's playing for us right now. Jarvis Jones was by far the worst of them all, probably because we expect excellence from our Pass Rushers. I'd say Timmons & Miller are my favorites from the whole list, aside from the HOF's you have in the Top 5 of course! I can't wait for tomorrow, I'm 🙏 for Jordan Davis to fall to us, that's my dream pick. Then I'd say Willis, I'm fine if they have to trade up for him only if it means we didn't jeopardize the next draft or 2. If not those 2, then OT or WR. Thanks Yinzburg, keep it up man, & thank you Kevin Colbert for giving us so many great players to cheer for! 🖤🏈💛

As always, Yinzburgh, awesome video. Thank you for it. It's been mentioned how the STEELERS have only a few busts in the 1st round. It's so remarkable what KC has done and I hope that it continues close to the standard that he has helped make. (Personal sidebar...This 1st rnd pick tonight, it is his last one. It's how many will remember him...Standard is the Standard) Again...Yinzburgh, great video. WE the fans of THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS may not be the current "it team" in the NFL (I live in KC, been tough last few years with these chefs fans around) but I take great pride in this ORGANIZATION and what they have provided for me since I can remember. WE are fans of amazing mid - late 1st rnd picks yearly - Cause we haven't felt the football pain of a fan when your team finishes under .500 ! I could go on, but I've typed enough on my soapbox in a suburb just outside of KC (yes, I know how I spelled kc chefs earlier) If anyone ever sees this from this AMAZING ORGANIZATION or knows someone from it. Tell em I said Thank You. Rooney family...Good bless you Kevin...Thank you Thank you Sir Ben...MY future HOF QB...Thank you doesn't feel like enough to say to you. Mike...Standard is the Standard...Love you brother. Big snack...WE the fans should love you more. I'll stop...lol THANK YOU Yinzburgh !!! (Born n raised in KC, Dad from Pittsburgh, Mom wrapped me in Terrible Towels coming home, nuff said)

Thank you so much Yinzburgh for all the great content.. We really appreciate you.. Here we go Steelers🖤💛🖤💛💯

Who is ready for the draft? Let me know your list down below! Santonio may seem high but ultimately Colbert drafted to make the team go for that ring & without Holmes I think there is a good chance that ring #6 is not there! I imagine Najee will be a top 10 guy before it’s said & done too! Don't forget to like & subscribe! Here We Go STEELERS! discord.gg/BKr2bPKG

A beautiful tribute! I think over time Harris's position will change in this line-up. Here we go Yinz!!

Great video! I would agree with the rankings. I remember when we drafted Ben. I was SO EXCITED! I got right on to madden and created him and was so bummed he didnt have a face lol!

I might actually put Troy at 1, due to the rarity of that level of talent at that position, but no real disagreement here. Great list!

Great job on this. I hope Najee & Bush both end up in the top 10!

Love the outro on Grandview Avenue. Looks great.

Pouncey needs to be higher. I switch Ben and Troy. Scary how great our #1 picks have been. Browns fans might become triggered to watch this.

Was cool watching this. Quite a few names I had forgot. Also. I think a great follow up to this would be the players that were not 1st rounders that ended up being Steelers monsters. Both later picks, and or Undrafted players. quite a few would fit in that.

Ben, Troy, Heath Miller those were three straight years of exceptional scouting and drafting!

This is the exact year I started watching the steelers 2000...this video gives me tears of joy. I really wish I can relive that Era all over again, in the words of Dewey Cox "It was a beautiful ride". Let's Go Pickett!

i love how you and i agree that the shoestring tackle was bens greatest moment

Pretty good ranking. Though I personally might swap Plex and Mendenhall.

Thought Timmons, Burress and Harris should have been up a spot or two from their positions. Nice job though.

This would be a good exercise to go round by round. It will take some research, but it will keep us busy until training camp.

The view Mount Warshington is so beautiful, n’at

Nothing hypes me up like you do with your videos

Great video! I would put Plaxico above Mendenhall. Great as Santonio was (SB MVP and The Catch) I probably take Heath and Pouncey's longevity over him. However, if you put him there mainly for the Super Bowl and overall playoff performance, I can't blame you. Overall, the Steelers really don't miss on the majority of their 1st round picks and it reflects with their consistent success.

Not sure about Hampton being in front of Heyward at this point. Cam has 3 first team all pros and the same amount of pro bowls as Hampton. If Cam has 3 more good seasons, he likely gets very serious HoF consideration. Great video

Mate I did the same IDea.... Less video quality haha But I listed the players Since 2000, I think we are all ready for the draft ay!!! good video

I would argue that Troy is the best to ever play his position. Top 3 at least. For that reason I would put him #1. Can’t really argue against Ben at 1 though either. Good stuff. Thanks for the flashbacks. Oh and Hambone is #3. He is one of the goats at DT.

GREAT TOPIC. Pics #21 (Jones) & #20 (Burns) were SO BAD they might be the worst of the era. In all seriousness though, Colbert, Rooney & Tomlin I feel deserve a SOLID B to A- in this era.

Ughhh Artie Burns...what a reach. I was completely baffled steelers drafted him so high. I remember watching that draft in shock. I saw the Watt draft too! That was a great one! My raider fan buddy talked so much crap that night about TJ and how crap he was going to be 😂

i would put pouncey higher than holmes for sure hes a future hall of famer, made a ton of pro bowls and all decade team

I love Miller, but I'd put DeCastro above him since he was the top guard in the league for a while. And maybe swap Hampton with Heyward, since Heyward is 2nd only to Aaron Donald currently. Overall crazy to how successful Colbert has been in just a single round!

Cool video idea. Disagree with a handful of rankings, but that's what makes this sport and medium fun. We can all have our own opinions.

I would have to think long and hard about the placement of #1 and #2 on this list. Polamalu is without a doubt the best safety to ever play the game. You could make an argument since he's higher at his own respected position than Ben is , maybe he should be #1. But then again, Roethlisberger was a big part to both Superbowl pushes in the 2000s, and probably wouldn't have happened if it weren't for him. And of course he went on to keep us relevant for 18 years without ever having a losing season (something Favre, Rodgers, Brees, Manning, and Manning couldn't do).

Pretty sure this video is just a fact and not even an opinion. Perfect vid

Casey Hamton #4!!! Respect. You can tell this list was done by people that really watch football.

You should do one going back to top 50!!!

Well Itz, your thoughts on drafting Pickett.

Steelers always hit in round one. Minkah is technically our first round pick in 2020

Of all 1st round draft picks I want to see I’m ready to see Kenny pickett

Haha....my mistake. They mentioned Tommons several times during the Ziggy Hood clip. Was mind blown thinking they had him ranked that low. Top 10 is much more fitting. Still think 12 is too high for Mendenhall.

Idk about Mendenhall, he was only solid for maybe 2-3 years and cared more about trivial things than playing for his team

Id argue pouncey in front of holmes and heyward in front of hampton

Jarvis Jones was CHEEKS

I was wondering before even watching this if #7 or #43 was going to be #1 on this list

THE team.

Good list, although I would have had Troy at #1

Okay, but Santonio Holmes over Decastro and Pouncey!!! Pouncey is a Hall of famer. Holmes had one 1000 yard season.

After just ONE season I'd have Najee ahead of mendenhall!!

devin bush was like wth just happened

I would have najer higher. He has been solid inspite of circumstances and has won us numerous games just by getting 1st downs. He sesled the win in bens last game at heunz field with a td run

now this may be recency bias talking, but if tj has a monster year this year and is dpoy again id make a case for him at #2

We all knew the top two was going to be Troy and Ben

I felt that mendenhall was too high

I would have Troy at #1, TJ at #2, and BB at #3. Also, I would have Najee a bit higher (at least higher than Mendenhall)

Ziggy hood ahead of bush? No chance

Love the video, but theres no way najee & plax are that low lol

the only reason najee is that low is prob cuz hes only played for 1 year

i never wanted us to get edmunds

Oof Devin Bush at 19 That stings

Ryan love the dude as player but they way he tackled 😟

najee and plax are lower than dupree?

Shame about shazier he was on all time great trajectory

Im a huge Bud Dupree fan, but i think Timmons should be higher. And NO WAY Mendenhall is higher than either of them. Im sorry, but i really dont remember hi "highlight reel" outside of the Super Bowl fumble. Najee's gonna be better.

I think you should switch heath and santonio.

TROY SHOULD BE #1

1. Holmes gave US great Moments, but he didnt have a better career than Heath, DeCastro, Pouncey or Lawrence Timmons

Plaxico too low imo. Other that that good list.

Mr. Harris should be ranked up higher

I think Mendenhall was a little high, he was good but he couldnt stay Healthy.

Kendall Simmons over Najee Harris, yikes. Or even bud Dupree over Najee. I loved bud Dupree, wish we still had him. But Najee is gonna end up breaking Steelers rushing records. I’m predicting it now

Forgot minkah 😂

I would put 3 players ahead of Holmes

I dont know how you can have Hood above Edmunds and bush. Edmunds has been a decent starter for a few years and will be again this year. Bush had at least some good games. Hood was never even starter caliber.

Troy should have been number one

Timmons was rated to high

2 busts basically TRY and tell me you could do HALF as well

To me… Polamalu would be Number 1

The creator has some bias against Naj. He's only now getting into his prime. Sad. Other than that. Pretty good list.

big Ben's only number 1 cause they never tried troy at qb

How tf do you put Rashard Mendenhall at 12? Dude was an injury prone bust who fumbled away a Super Bowl. Also, I like Big Snack but he wasn’t better than Cam. Heath Miller should also be higher than Santonio Holmes just because he was just as big a part of the offense for much longer

You need to change the 1 and 2, Troy should be number 1

I disagree with Bell over DeCastro for the simple fact that we all know: There is no Le’Veon Bell without DeCastro & the Steelers OLine.

i personally think artie burns was the worst

No way Rashad Mendenhall and Lawrence Timmons should be higher than Najee Harris and Ryan Shazier.

Shazier and Timmons swap

there is no way in hell that mendenhall was a better pick in the first round than najee harris yall got that one wrong point blank

Holmes is too high. If he would have stayed in Pittsburgh and continued to play well sure but his career was over when he went to jets. And harris will be higher in a few yeats

Troy Polamalu should be number 1, no doubt.

we really putting mendenhall over anyone? let alone najee?

All i will say is everyone on this list is lucky Chad Scott was ineligible.

Ok so I graded each of the 21 picks on a -60 = F, 61-70 = D, 71 - 80 = C, 81 - 90 = B, 91 - 100 = A scale...In my humble & unprofessional opinion, I have the overall avg. at 89%, or a B+, but short of an A- because they really dropped the ball (no pun intended) on a few picks. Also, I have NO IDEA why KZfaq has placed a line through my entire comment. Side note, KZfaq is REALLY getting annoying the way they're doin' things anymore, & I'm half tempted to stop watching vids altogether & switch to watching it on my cable streaming service...IF AT ALL KZfaq

All the recent draft picks have been the worst.

Bud should not be that high. He had 1 mediocre season and 1 good season then left.

This list is absurd 🤣 Ben is number 1 and Troy isn’t?? WHAT BRO🤣

I'm so glad that GM Kevin Colbert and Ben Roethlisberger are no longer with the Steelers in significant roles. They both were horrible. Ben was just a game manager on Steelers teams with tremendous Defenses.

I feel cam and Casey need to be switched Cam is better than Casey and far more versatile than Hampton ever was love big snack but he's just not as good in my opinion.

funny how the bottom half of the list has all been the last 10 years and the top half of the list was almost all 2000-2010
